This weekend our main event was going to the Touch-a-Truck at the local high school. Apparently, these type of events are common in the suburbs? We'd never heard of one before but Kip had a great time.
There was a person dressed as Elmo in bunker gear and Ivy was shockingly excited to see Elmo and was brave enough to even touch his hand. She has taken an interest in Elmo lately (playing with Kip's tickle-me-Elmo) and this in-person interaction was really sweet. Kip wanted NOTHING to do with Elmo.
While we were walking around, we heard a helicopter overhead and were surprised to watch it land right in the baseball field next to parking lot where we were. We were less than 100 feet away from it. It was cool but really kind of scary as it was incredibly loud and was flinging up all kinds of dust as it landed. It was a NJ State Trooper helicopter. Later, we got to check it out up close.
Overall, we were really impressed with the event and the kids had a good time. We've really appreciated all the fun local events this fall. Everything has been outside and we've felt comfortable with the amount of people in attendance. Events like this or a trunk-or-treat would have been massively overrated and crowded in Brooklyn and we wouldn't have even attempted to attend. Having stuff like this within walking distance of our house has just added to the perk.
